> The irony is that these same companies were talking a year ago about people as their most important asset, and now they're treating their employees pretty badly, laying them off via email or by abruptly cutting off their access to the company. These layoffs are a decision that reflects the company's values, and these companies have basically given their employees the middle finger.
I have to wonder if this is entirely incidental. Sudden layoffs can also help maintain labor discipline, which a lot of business leaders felt was getting away from them.
